    Research and Write an Inclusion in Sport Policy for Your Political Party

    Learning Intention:

    Students will be able to research and write an inclusion in sport policy for their political party.

    Success Criteria:

    • Students can identify the different types of inclusion in sport.
    • Students can identify the barriers to inclusion in sport for different groups of people.
    • Students can research and write a policy that addresses the barriers to inclusion in sport.
    • Students can present their policy to the class in a clear and concise manner.


    Learning activities:

    Research

    • What are the different types of inclusion in sport?

    • What are the barriers to inclusion in sport for different groups of people? (e.g., people with disabilities, women, LGBTQ+ people, people from low-income backgrounds, etc.)

    • What are the benefits of inclusion in sport for individuals and society as a whole?

    • What are some examples of successful inclusion in sport initiatives from around the world?


    Writing

    • Introduce your policy by stating the problem that you are trying to address and the goals that you hope to achieve.

    • Outline the specific measures that you propose to take to promote inclusion in sport.

    • Explain how your policy will be implemented and how it will be funded.

    • Discuss the potential benefits and challenges of your policy.

    • Conclude by summarising your main points and reiterating your commitment to inclusion in sport.

    Additional Tips

    • Be specific and provide examples to support your points.

    • Be objective and avoid making generalisations.

    • Be clear and concise in your writing.

    • Proofread your policy carefully before submitting it.

    Here are some specific questions that you can consider when researching and writing their policy:

    • Should athletes be given equal pay for participation, regardless of gender?

    • How can we make sport more accessible to people with disabilities?

    • How can we encourage more women and girls to participate in sport?

    • How can we create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ athletes?

    • How can we make sport more affordable for people from low-income backgrounds?

    You can also consider the following when writing your policy:

    • What role should the government play in promoting inclusion in sport?

    • What role should sport organisations play in promoting inclusion in sport?

    • What role can individuals play in promoting inclusion in sport?

    We will be presenting our written policies this week.
